The Killing Fields is a short dance film directed by Jonathan Lee and co-choreographed by Lee and Tweet Boogie.

This film was created in response to Colin Kaepernick taking a knee during the National Anthem at every football game that he played. It was his symbol of a peaceful protest to the killings of Trayvon Martin, Eric Garner, Michael Brown, and Sandra Bland.

Has America become the killing fields for Black America?
